Hi Everyone,

I am trying to launch my first blog with Word Press and I`ve come up with a stumbling

block; You see, I am trying to brand my name.com, that is, I want my name to be the

URL address of the blog, like felixgeoffroy.com on the header, the title and sub title

is already in the position where it should be by default and now I want to put my name on

the top as well. Please! can anyone give me some guidance as how to do this?

Thank You

Regards

Felix

    You could just simply change the title to felixgeoffroy.com in the general settings. If your sites title is different than felixgeoffroy.com and you would like to add the url seperately, you will need to edit header.php.

    FYI, wp config is a wordpress configuration file that makes the connection to your database. Just letting you know in case you had been searching for wp config to fix your issue. Let me know if you need more help with this.

      Hi Mike,

      I´ve been into the editor of header php and as I am only

      fimaliar with html and not php, A little help on what to

      look for and how to deal with it please?

      The site title is "Info on relationships" and

      the Tagline title is "Tips on how to get your ex back".

      They both are in the place of default:

      But the address and the url would be [url=http://www.felixgeoffroy.com]

      which I want to place on the header itself.

      this Domain has been paid for so no need to waste it.

      Thank You ´

      Regards

      Felix

    I am still not getting what you want to do. It is not about html vs. php - it's about being able to clearly formulate a question/request...

    Try to make it more precise.

    Do you want to display the domain/url ON the top of your header image?
    (Why, if I may ask???)
    You want the URL placed ON this image?
    http://felixgeoffroy.com/wp-content/.../header-bg.jpg

    Just trying to figure out what your goal is because the "rant" about the domain being paid doesn't make sense at all...

      Hi Istvan,
      Let me see if I can clear things up for you.

      First, to clear up the rant about the Domain having been paid for;

      In the first reply from iMike this is what he said to me.

      "You could just simply change the title to felixgeoffroy.com in the
      general settings. If your sites title is different than felixgeoffroy.com
      and you would like to add the url separately, you will need to edit header.php."

      Changing the title to felixgeoffroy.com is going to make my domain redundant.

      I don´t want to change the title.

      I want the name felixgeoffroy.com which is the domain to be the address of the blog.

      I´ve seen a great deal of WP blogger s inserting their name.com onto the header.

      To name a few David Walker.tv, Matt Wolfe.com, are two that I am going to exhibit here.

      You can check them out if you like.

      You have this url in your reply: http://felixgeoffroy.com/wp-content/.../header-bg.jpg

      If you place that in your browser you´ll come up with the site which is under

      construction, you´ll also see info on relationships as the title and under that is

      Tips for getting your ex back. Well, above those two headings to the right of the header

      I want in text FelixGeoffroy.com placed there and that is also the Url and address of this site.

      He said I´ll need to edit header.php to do this and as I only understand a little html

      and no php I would like a little help as to what to look for and how to deal with it please!.

      Thank You

      Felix

        In your header.php file you will need to add a div that contains your url. It would something like:

        Code:
        <div style="float: right;"><a href="http://felixgeoffroy.com/wp-content/.../header-bg.jpg">http://felixgeoffroy.com/wp-content/.../header-bg.jpg</a></div>
        You will want to add this code right above the line that says:

        Code:
        <div class="logo">
        This will add the url to your header in the spot you want. You may have to add some margins to the div to get the position right as well as some styling for the text like font-size.

        Let me know if you need anymore help.
